To Meta, children are nothing more than a dollar value. It’s past time we listen to parents sounding the alarm about the dangers Big Tech poses to children, and all Americans. Families deserve accountability. Congress must stand up to Big Tech.
I'm proud to have secured $7 million in federal funding for the Village of Mount Prospect to help reduce gridlock at Rand Rd., Kensington Rd., and Route 83. These improvements will reduce wait times and improve safety drivers and pedestrians alike.https://t.co/SPsTmRasiA
Trump promised lower prices. Instead, his reckless and illegal war in Iran is making life more expensive for everyone else. Gas prices up. Grocery prices up. Families stretched even thinner. Working people are once again paying for Donald Trump’s chaos. https://t.co/TC2L5KlLP2
Happy Mother’s Day! 💐🌹☀️ Instead of just chocolates and flowers, how about paid parental leave, affordable health care, fair wages, and child care families can count on? Today and every day, we fight for policies that support working families and honor the care moms provide.
Eight years after Trump withdrew from the JCPOA, a deal that constrained Iran’s nuclear program, we are still facing higher gas prices and ongoing global instability. Abandoning diplomacy has real consequences. Negotiation works. Chaos doesn’t.
I’m encouraged by the appointment of García Luna as Guatemala’s new Attorney General. After years under former AG Consuelo Porras, who was sanctioned by the US and other countries for corruption and undermining democracy, the Guatemalan people deserve transparency and accountability during this transition, and a chance to heal and move forward.
Nurses show up for us in our most vulnerable moments, often working long hours under strenuous conditions. That is why safe staffing standards and fair working conditions for nurses will provide the support they deserve and dramatically improve patient care. During National Nurses Appreciation Week, we recognize and thank nurses for the essential work they do every day. We will keep fighting!
This Teacher Appreciation Day, I’m thinking about the long days, meaningful moments, and lasting impact of teaching. From one former teacher to those in the classroom now, thanks for all you do. I’ll keep fighting for higher pay, stronger benefits, and the support you deserve.
People with disabilities should never be forced to choose between the support of their families and the benefits they need to survive. Supplemental Security Income is a lifeline, not something to be chipped away at. We must strengthen it.
This May Day, I stand with workers building a more just economy where everyone has a voice. As a dues-paying union member, I know firsthand the power of collective action. We must strengthen the right to organize and bargain so all can thrive. Workers deserve nothing less. https://t.co/onrIkiz7FS
